TtqvToKml tool

Hi Seb,

the latest "TTQV3.0.131 develop" already exports *.gpx files,
that can be directly loaded in Google earth.
This version will be the current version in some hours.

Hey Jockel,
this is the best thing since sliced bread! :grin: :grin: :grin:
I had tried to go over the limit of 500 datapoints to download tracks to GE+ by trafficking the data.kml files with little success to date, and here is the file with its 9000+points straight from TTQV.
This makes my day! :prost:
I wonder how long GE will allow this, if they can block it! Clearly the limit of 100 datapoints for file intake and 500 for GPS intake was some marketing positioning to force upgrade to GEPro for more points. Inappropriate in my view since going from 20$ to 400$ is too large a gap to convert many. And you still end up with only 2500 points.
TTQV is IT!
Thanks!
Pierre

Hi,

did not know about this limitation, funny that it works that way
Anyway, I think the less extensive this is used, the longer this unintentional
possibility will be open from Google side (like always...)
So, if you do not loose absolutely necessary information, run a track-point-reduction
prior to submitting the tracks to google.

Yes, I had ran track point reduction. But when you trek in mountains with a lot of switchbacks then the tracks looks strange. I thought the GPS was the limiting factor in track points, that Gogle with all it has sets such a low limit for no reason I can fathom is odd to say the least!

If Google prevents long file to be read into GE, then I will try Sébastien's tool if it creates a file directly usable.

Now we can xfr easily datapoints from QV to GE
Is there a way to xfr easily a Google map to QV with ready georeferencing a plus?

Hi,
no, there is no way. !!Maybe!! in a future version of TTQV.

Hi Pierre,

I'm using
http://www.norberthein.de/navi…top50trans/top50trans.htm
for this task. It's user interface is written in German, but you will get the point
- "Eingang" means Import - select "Google Earth"
- "Ausgang" means Export - select "GPX" or other

I thought Einfuhr was Import and Ausfuhr for Export.
I noted "Der Kartenexport ist noch in der Testphase. Auf meinem PC funktioniert es schon. Ob es auf anderen Rechnern auch klappt, muss sich erst zeigen." on the link you gave me. I will check if it works as well on my PC tomorrow,

Merci Sébastien!

In the other direction:
is it possible to export a Google track that would have altitude embedded in it. I see a file with a third data point always at 0 which I gather is altitude relative to ground.

If that were possible then I would get a QV file with ground altitude at the finest definition available (which GE claims) and avoid scouting fro the proper *.hgt file.

Yes, there is - if I understood you right.

Have a look at http://www.probike.at ("Tag der offenen TOUR")

Is this the thing, you're looking for?

Back after a long absence,

Hi MM,

I looked at yr link, saw the interactive map, but did not see how this can export a map to QV. The reason I want to export is have under QV a map of the quality that Google offers (high detail on occasion), but also, if possible, georeferenced. Jockel said "nicht möglich, jetzt". So I currently export the picture with the view of lat/long grid onto a jpg file and call it into QV where I can easily georeference it with the grid.

However, I can only export the screen, which is only a piece of a long (weeks) trek, so I wondered if
Step one: export the screen but already georeferenced, nice to have
Step two: from Google define map boundaries (Lat/Long, top, bottom) and export to a map format with georeferencing included.
Step two is probably asking too much at this stage, or only in a future version of PRO since this is really using a lot of Google Intellectual Property.

Hi Pierre,

the program mentioned above has AFAIK this ability - I never tested it . . .

Hello Anton,
Thanks for the tip.
I read what is offered there. I must say the German is a bit complex for me to understand all that take place, not too automatic an operation it would seem. And also does not seem to export a larger picture than what I do with PrintScreen and Lat/Lon grid. Also stil in a test phase. I will inquire direct with the producer.
Tchuss,
Pierre
